ROTS gets lumped in with the other prequels, but it's not nearly as bad.
Here's a poll on the subject:

Obviously there are many people who prefer RotS... It's hardly a "lol" situation, with one movie being clearly better. It's two flawed movies, with personal preference deciding which is best. |
I thought ROTS was by far the worst of the prequels and all Star Wars movies. The big scenes were so awful. HC's character/acting/dialogue was so bad. His chemistry and interaction with Portman was so awful. His turning to the dark side was so unconvincing. He killed a bunch of kids and I didn't even have a reason to care. If you can't buy any of that, it made his battle with Ewan Mcgregor just seem pointless and tedious.
II was forgettable, I was a mixed bag of good scenes and cringey scenese, but III was just terrible in every way. I think there's Star Wars fans who think of ROTS fondly for being dark and mostly void of Jar Jar. But darkness is just corny and boring if there is no depth and the writing and acting is not convincing.
